silence..

one fine morning
silence glides in, from afar..
and dawns upon me
like mist on a winter day

seeking her space
in my being
staking her claim
in my soul

taken by mild surprise
i gaze at her.. fondly though
as a friend i've known
from many moons ago

she looks at me
with kind eyes
and a benign smile
holds my hands n sits me down

she sings to me n soothes me
n gets up to leave
with a promise to be back
n slowly she merges into nothing..
